Gremlins in my phone.

I completed my week 8 run 2 this morning but was wondering why Jo Whiley was very silent towards the end of my run and not informing me I had completed 28 minutes!! So I kept on running!! After a few more minutes of running I realised something was wrong and checked my phone. It had decided to pause itself!! So effectively I had run for 35 minutes without realising it!! So couch25k done and dusted in week 8!! 35 minutes of non stop running!! Needless to say I will be completing run 3 of week 8 and week 9, but at least now I know I can do this!!!🤗

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

How strange but these things happen and you had an extra long run as a bonus

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Absolutely!!! I definitely know I can run the 30 minutes in week 9 now!!😊x

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Laralou2]

It’s exciting getting close to the end isn’t it?

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

It really is!! I can’t believe I’m a few runs away from the end now!!x

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Laralou2]

I shall look forward to reading your graduation report

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’ve had this happen a few times now, but it’s normally near the start. Not sure why that happens. I thought maybe I’ve pressed pause or something by accident in my pocket 🤷🏼‍♂️. Well done on running that long, I’m not holding out much hope of me doing the same thing 🙈

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to Downhillcol]

Thank you!! It’s very odd that it happens!! You’ll surprise yourself, you can do it!! What week are you on?x

[Downhillcol Graduate in reply to Laralou2]

Week 4 run 2 next, This is my 4th time now though and I’ve been pluaged with shin problems. Last time I tried it over a year ago I got stress fractures 🙈 this time I have shin splints that won’t seem to go away. I’m doing all the right things in between the runs, but for some reason they just will not heal up. Going to give it a week off this time just to see if that gives them enough time to heal.

Happened to me too, a few times, on random occasions. I think week 7 I thought I was going crazy when I hadn't heard Sanj talking. Turned out I had run 29.40 instead of 25 :). At least it gives confidence for the final week (which I have just completed!!). Best of luck with your journey

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to BuilderBoysMum]

It’s frustrating but at the same time encouraging as you know you can run for that amount of time.😊Many congratulations on completing the final week!! A fantastic achievement!!👏👏

Thank you 😊 x

[BuilderBoysMum Graduate in reply to Laralou2]

Thank you. Best of luck to you too. Determination (and a second timer) will see you through.

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to BuilderBoysMum]

Thank you 😊 x

Same is happening to me on my week 7 runs. First one I ran over 25 minutes and was thinking it was never ending! Happened on runs 2 and 3 as well. Checking my watch from now on just in case!

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to Angiekel]

That’s exactly what I’m going to do tomorrow when I run week 8 run 3!! Lots of luck and fun on your journey.🤗x

Well done with the run! My app will switch off if I don’t turn off the phone screen when I put it in my pocket. Yesterday I stopped to take a photo as it was so beautiful and that stopped the app with a 5 minute run left so I improvised. Started again and used the warm up walk as my timer. Of course, without the ‘you’re half way through’, ‘one minute left’ I was judging distance by landmarks and was very pleasantly surprised when I was told time up, as I thought I had a good minute to go! Very encouraging.

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Thank you!! Enjoy the rest of your journey.🤗x

[Woody_53 Graduate]

Well done you! Sarah Millican neglected to tell me about the second three minute run this morning (week 4 run 3).

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to Woody_53]

It’s very disconcerting as you’re waiting for the voice to say your time is up and confused when it doesn’t happen!!Enjoy the rest of your journey, thank you 😊 x

[LSandi]

I had the same thing today. Wk5 Run 1 - I got a text message and Siri interrupted my podcast to tell me. I ignored it, kept running without realising Jo Wiley had gone quiet. 3 mins later realised its paused. Note to self put a do not disturb on next time!

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to LSandi]

It’s so annoying isn’t it as it’s almost like your security blanket whilst you’re running has disappeared!! I hope the run went well.🤗x

[Lockdownpositive in reply to LSandi]

Happened to me again today! I'll take your advice next time! Cheers.

[Lockdownpositive]

Wow! Well done you.

[Laralou2 Graduate in reply to Lockdownpositive]

Thank you 😊 x

[Laralou2 Graduate]
